What 뉴 means
It contributes a syllable's sound; the complete word supplies meaning.
뉴 joins ㄴ (n) and ㅠ (a vowel beginning with a y glide). In 뉴스, it contributes the opening syllable.
King Sejong devised Hangul to ease Korean writing. It took shape in 1443; the Hunminjeongeum guide explained it in 1446. Korea adopted Hangul as an official writing system in 1894.
Why is 뉴 written as 유?
In certain South Korean words, the initial-sound rule changes 뉴 to 유.
It applies to Hanja-based words—Korean words read from Chinese characters—and only at a word's start.

1Why does 뉴 show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
